After the state game farm shut down, the club leased the grounds in 1987 and began its raise-and-release program. Club volunteers raised thousands of pheasant, quail and bobwhite each year; later, we purchased mature birds. Southview Game Farm provided us with high-quality birds for many years, until Terri Jackson retired. All told, members have released over 40,000 gamebirds to improve brood stock and hunting opportunities in the valley. As always, this is made possible by the generosity those attending our annual Chukar Run Banquet.
